After a wet start to their week's stay, these determined men and old Boy Scouts, Nick, Brian and Ken, lit a campfire with wet wood without the use of any gasoline. (but they did use a lot of newspaper!)

This turtle was seen just behind one of our cottages at Beauview. He didn't want to move for an hour. But he was in a traffic zone and we were worried that he'd get run over. Finally we coaxed him into a box and put him near our creek.

In the 16 years we've been at Beauview, I rarely have gotten out to fish. This week, I had two fishermen staying with us that didn't bring their boats and I had just bought a new fish finder & depth sounder that I wanted to try out.

I went out one night with Jim who was armed with the latest fishing intelligence from Mitch at Triple Star Baits in Baysville. Jim caught one fish and I didn't catch any but we saw a lot pass by us on the fish finder screen!

Last night I went out with Ken, who's been coming to Beauview for 14 years. He used to bring his boat and fish all the time. I wanted him to show me his secret fishing spots. (Then maybe I could qualify as a fishing guide!!)

Joshua and Abigail are two year twins that love our sand piles. It was amazing that their mom could get them to keep still at our Welcome BBQ. Josh really likes anything motorized - so Nancy's golf cart was very attractive. Cool sunglasses Dudes!

Gord has a twin brother so he's especially in tune with twins of all ages.

Josh and Abby, twin two year olds, arrived yesterday. As soon as they saw the waterfront, they made a beeline for the playground. They spend a lot of time in the sandbox at daycare. Now there's two huge ones to play in all week at Beauview!
